About M92.59

M92.59 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other juvenile osteochondrosis of tibia and fibula. It belongs to category M92 (other juvenile osteochondrosis), block M91-M94 (Chondropathies) and chapter 13 (diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within M92.5, choose M92.59 (Other juvenile osteochondrosis of tibia and fibula) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified juvenile osteochondrosis of tibia and fibula (M92.50), juvenile osteochondrosis of proximal tibia (M92.51) and juvenile osteochondrosis of tibia tubercle (M92.52).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: M92.591 (right leg), M92.592 (left leg), M92.593 (bilateral) and M92.599 (unspecified leg).

It was added in FY2021, effective October 1, 2020.
